Welcome to globalGlob presents: Log Level Debug a show about news, and stuff, and things, in the technology world. Recorded live, July 13th, 2026. And I'm *points around*...working through a mid-life crisis. Before we start, we want to remind you to visit globalGlob.dev for the latest news in software development, I.T., and technology in general. Now let's get into all the news we logged over the past week. With links in the show notes. In software development news, Microsoft released TypeScript 7.0. This release is over a year in the making, as it includes a full re-write of the compiler using the Go programming language. The biggest benefit is 10 times faster compile time speed. An insane jump. One of their examples shows compiling the codebase for VS Code down from 2 minutes to only 10 seconds. *looks away* Hey, for our international audience, what's that in metric?...also 10 seconds? Hmm, okay.*to camera* Microsoft stated the Go language was chosen because it's written very similarly to Typescript itself, making the migration easier than if they had moved to a different language, like Rust or Microsoft's own C#. But it's Microsoft, so they'll say to avoid using C#. And let's keep the rewrite chain going. Back in April the team at Bun used Claude Code to rewrite the Bun toolchain with Rust. This week the team released a blog post talking about the work. The reasoning behind the rewrite was to...I don't know. I read the whole thing. They talked about memory safety issues. And something about performance. But NOW Bun runs on Rust, which has great memory safety. ...So long as you don't use the `unsafe` keyword all over the place. Which they're doing. 13...thousand times in the new codebase. And the unsafe code exists for a reason. They got a performance bump of 2-5 percent faster. Which...I guess that's something...it's not a rounding error. Maybe next time they'll rewrite in Go. That made Typescript 10 times faster. And...at least the A.I. rewrite was cheap. The total cost of the tokens used to rewrite it with Claude Fable 5 was, oh my god..$165,000. Okay, $165,000, the unsafe keyword, and at best, 5% faster. But they're done, nothing else to work on. Nope! Sorry, to use their words, "The work continues". Okay, let's stop there and move on to something else. Something less convoluted. Something, everyone saw coming. OpenAI announced they will no longer be developing Atlas, their web browser. And I....did not know they had a web browser. Does it just hallucinate web pages? Is that the goal? Do people tell it to make Wikipedia pages that say they have the biggest *widen hands motion* You know. Did OpenAI lose billions of dollars from people doing that? Who's to say? Not us. It's just speculation at this point and as an independant news program we can't verify one way or the other. But, they didn't lose $0 on people making Wikipedia pages saying they have the biggest *widen hands motion*. Anyway, doesn't matter. Atlas, is gone. Oh, yeah, uh, OpenAI also released some other products last week. ChatGPT Work, and a GPT 5.6 model. I didn't read anything about them. But ChatGPT Work will probably get deprecated in a few months, and GPT 5.6 will be out of date around the same time. Keeping things with OpenAI for a bit, Apple is suing them for stealing trade secrets. Apple says OpenAI poached Apple employees and coached them to steal internal documents on their way out. OpenAI responded on Twitter saying they're not interested in other companies' trade secrets. Which is probably true. I've never heard of a single instance of OpenAI stealing intellectual property. Especially not from people with access to expensive lawyers. Hey, if you're listening to the audio-only podcast you just missed one of those visual gags where we say one thing, but the screen shows proof of the opposite. A lot of headlines of OpenAI being accused of stealing data. I didn't want you miss out on that because you don't want to look at my face. Which I understand. I avoid mirrors for the same reason. Editing this whole show is more difficult than it needs to be. Anyway, since we mentioned Twitter and A.I., Elon Musk's Grok is in the news again....Keep, not use it. *image of story--pause* Hey, to our audio-only listeners, there was another visual gag there. But I don't think you really need it. Just wanted to explain the weird silence. Moving on to our final story of the day. This week Meta, sometimes called Facebook, enrolled every Instagram user with a public account into a program that lets anyone use their images with an A.I. image generation tool. And of course, no one needed their consent to make those A.I. images. It took 3 days for the company to reverse this decision. But it'll take 3 weeks for them to make another one, just as stupid. And that's all the news that happened this week. Kinda short, but it's summer. The people in the news are taking time off. If we didn't talk about it, it's not in the logs. Join Log Level Debug next week when we'll talk about everything that happened between now and then. If you enjoyed the show, tell your friends. And if you didn't, tell your enemies.
